will summoner ever get new egi glamour?

the possibilities are endless with the amount of primals there are. i'd just like to be able to use my favorites like ravana or susano

Nevermind Ravana or Susano, they haven't even covered the rest of the vanilla series regulars from ARR yet.

I honestly expect them to pull another "but we just gave you guys another (20-second) egi with Phoenix" like they did with Bahamut in SB to handwave the issue for another full expansion cycle.


But I do like pleasant surprises.

I would prefer that, instead of egi glamours, they would make Summoner actually like an FF Summoner. FF XI comes to mind specifically. What we have right now is a glorified WoW warlock.

The janitors at Square Enix have been tasked with creating the egi glamours. Please give them some time to try and figure out programming and graphic design. Thanks.

I would love that just as much as the next Summoner, but it's never going to happen. I'm sure the developers wish they could toss Summoner into limited-job hell and be done with it for all the trouble they've had carving out an identity for Summoner.

Why do people think they are entitled to more because they play a certain job? They gave you Phoenix. You should be ecstatic. Just stop it.

[Awha]

Leave the Janitors alone, they are my only hope for body hair sliders for every race and gender.

I always figured "additional egi" could just be introduced in animations... Like Summoner has a Raise spell? Why not adjust that so it does light Fire AoE damage as well, and slap Phoenix-Egi in the animation? Demi-Phoenix is certainly more impressive than that though... Back when Summoner still have Eye for an Eye, for example, I figured that'd look great as a Ravana-Egi based copy of his directional parry skill... Guess the skill sets being pruned down a tad too much to make that concept workable though...

The true Egi Glamour system I want though, is one that simply has you equip an item in the off hand slot, and that is the pet you summon. Equip Ifrits item, you can have Caster, Melee and... Support? Not sure what the tank pet is changing to... All three of those would be Ifrit-Egi though, not just the existing Melee Ifrit-Egi. Low level Arcanist quest gives you a Carbuncle Ruby, perhaps we can dye it to get the various colours currently set up, the Summon abilities require an item equipped in the off hand, much like Paladins shield skills require a shield equipped... Scholar also gets Carbuncle out of this, albeit a healer based on (Healing Ruby!) and uses the same system to equip a Eos or Selene item, and future items that drop from a Bravely Third cross over event.

I don't see any entitlement in this thread, other than the entitlement to our opinions.

I prefer XIV's version of SMN over XI. Like, by a lot. XI's SMN (at least in the 75 era) was boring. You summoned those avatars, they looked cool as hell, made them do a move and then released them and wait for several minutes for the commands to come off cooldown. XIV's doesn't look as impressive, but they put much more emphasis where it matters most: the master. I'd rather be a "WoW warlock clone" than a half-assed WHM that relied way too much on my subjob.

But that's just me. I would appreciate it if they do release some egi-glamours for the pets. I'm not asking for much, maybe just three to replace the egis we have. I mean, Sephirot and Ramuh egis are kind of already in the game. Add in Shiva for the third one as the Ifrit equivalent, I guess.

I just hope they replace the EGI's eventually.
